Local signal versus the global table

The clearest local signals this week: Brand New by Mrs. GREEN APPLE (local #1, on 1 of 35 tracked charts); 好きすぎて滅! by M!LK (local #2, on 1 of 35 tracked charts); 夜の踊り子 by sakanaction (local #3, on 1 of 35 tracked charts). Songs like these hold Top 10 positions in Japan while staying nearly invisible in the cross-country aggregate — usually a sign of language-market momentum or a domestic release cycle rather than a global push.

Working in the other direction, 15 of the current global aggregate Top 15 songs do not chart in Japan at all this week, including Dai Dai by Shakira, Beauty And A Beat by Justin Bieber, Wonderwall - Remastered by Oasis. When a cross-market hit skips a market entirely, the gap usually maps to language, genre preference, or a local release calendar.

48 of the 50 songs on the full Japan chart appear nowhere else in the tracked set this week. The highest-ranked market exclusives: Brand New by Mrs. GREEN APPLE at local #1; 好きすぎて滅! by M!LK at local #2; 夜の踊り子 by sakanaction at local #3.

Stability and turnover

Brand New by Mrs. GREEN APPLE is a new local #1, replacing 夜の踊り子 by sakanaction from the previous stored week. The longest-running current Top 10 song is 好きすぎて滅! by M!LK, present in the local Top 10 for 10 of the last 10 stored weeks.

8% of the full local chart is new versus the previous stored week, in line with the 12% average across the tracked set — typical turnover for this comparison window.

How to read this market

Japan belongs to the Asia region in Chart Atlas. A song that rises here but remains flat globally can indicate a local event, language-market momentum, or a regional genre signal. A song that is simultaneously strong here and in several other countries is more likely to be part of a cross-market trend.

The movement labels compare stored weekly snapshots. They are not a claim about every daily chart change between the two capture dates.
